Cohen is a devoted film fan and champion who has used his resources to improve and expand the moviegoing and movie-watching experience. In the past few years, he has renovated former landmark cinemas, including New York City’s Quad Cinema, as state-of-the-art theaters exhibiting both the latest Hollywood blockbusters and more specialized or challenging fare such as foreign films, documentaries and titles from the repertory canon. Aware of the new ways viewers are watching films via streaming options, he is now leading the way in that exciting direction – and the Cohen Media Channel‘s unparalleled menu of films will become a new standard of quality in the streaming universe.
“While the movie-watching experience is evolving, what doesn’t change is fans’ love for intelligent and compelling films,” Charles S. Cohen said. “We’re excited to make our wonderful array of films more accessible than ever via Amazon Channels.”
